Been bumps in the project, mostly due to the original batteries bought not being suitable, and the original methods devised to build the cells not being suitable. Originally I was going to build the packs using pressure to hold the cells together, but due to the high amperage draw, the cells need to be welded together. A welding machine is $5k. :(

Hi Robert,Well, the finished car will hopefully have a 60 to 100 mile range at highway speeds, maybe 200 mile range at stop and go Los Angeles speeds where it will be used. :) 105HP peak, much faster than stock, and maybe a couple hundred pounds heavier than stock, but not too much heavier since it will be using lithium cells instead of lead-acid. - Tony
